LAMINITIS!

This horse was presented in February this year with an acute onset of endocrinopathic laminitis and within weeks suffered a bout of severe impaction colic as a direct consequence of both pain and a change in management.

Having successfully treated the colic we turned our attention back to the laminitis. Dedication from both the owner and our team alongside 3 months of box rest and some excellent remedial farriery (Ian Mortimer Farriery Services) the horse is now sound, comfortable and ready to embrace working life again.

This is a reminder that laminitis is a nasty condition and although is most prevalent in Spring due to the new grasses it can occur at any time of year and can last for several months at a time.
If you have any questions or are worried about your horse suffering from laminitis feel free to contact the practice for further advice.

CHOKE
Over the weekend we have had an unusually high number of choke cases.
Choke is a relatively common condition that occurs when food or a foreign body blocks the horse’s oesophagus (tube that connect the mouth to the stomach).
Choke can happen in horses, ponies and donkeys and in animals of all ages.

Causes, Signs and Prevention methods of Choke can be found in the comments!

Ultrasound imagery is a valuable diagnostic imaging technique for soft tissue structures such as tendons and ligaments. This image show a good comparison of what a healthy tendon and a damaged tendon looks like. The black hole know in veterinary terms as a hypoechoic area represents a core lesion of the superficial digital flexor tendon which would make a horse substantially lame. Ultrasound diagnosis will help provide the correct treatment and rehabilitation programme for your horse to enable them to recover and is therefore an invaluable tool to utilise in lameness investigation.

Skin conditions can be tricky!
This horse was suffering from a skin infection when our vets came to see her.
After some initial treatment, a course of anti-inflammatories and antifungal medications to combat the infection, which we found the problem to be fungal and bacterial.
We're pleased to report she made a wonderful recovery and even grew back hair on her face!

Are you lacking motivation or struggling to find the time to ride your horse? Is the ‘winter guilt’ hitting because your horse’s workload has dropped off due to other commitments and the dark nights? Maybe your horse deserves a bit of a rest after a busy summer too! Below are some of the benefits that 'time-off' can have on your horse, and yourself! Sometimes, allowing some time to adjust to the seasonal changes has its perks too, and gives both you and your horse a well-deserved break! Remember, this doesn’t apply to all horses! Some horses thrive off a more intensive workload, or maybe a medical condition requires them to be in work all year round. Make sure whatever you do is working for both you and your horse this winter!

🐮Captain crunch made a full recovery and is now back out playing with his friends. That’s what we love to see! ❤️

We often suggest soaking hay nets to reduce water soluble concentrates (sugars) in hay you are feeding to overweight or laminitic ponies but we appreciate soaking hay can be a difficult task for many people. We hope this video will help you find a way to make the process easier for you. If you would like any further advice on how to make this system add a comment and we will happily help you out.

🐴Sustainable horse ownership ideas 🐴 Here is a video with some sustainable horse ownership ideas 😁

Is your horse losing weight? 🐴 If your horse suddenly loses weight, even when on a good diet and appropriate management regime, you should make an appointment for your vet to perform a thorough physical examination on your horse. This video can help to determine the cause of the weight loss and minimise potential problems. Many conditions can cause weight loss, including dental problems, conditions affecting the stomach and intestines and other severe illnesses. Many conditions can be ruled out by your vet following an examination and blood sampling.

This is one of our nurses horses Heather, she needs to wear a muzzle during the spring and summer months due to being a very good doer and being high risk of laminitis. When she first has the muzzle on she sulks for a whole day, wont eat and stands in the middle of the field looking very grumpy. Always by day 2 she is eating, happy and just being normal in the field. It's amazing how quickly they adapt and learn to eat with a muzzle on, don't be fooled by the sulking. Muzzles allow them to be out in a field, behaving like normal horses whilst restricting the intake of grass and helping with weight management.
